Ellison's Orange Apples

Fall is arriving in all its glory here on Gracewood. This is the first picking of our Ellison's Orange apples. They are described as having an 'intense, rich, aromatic flavor with a taste of aniseed. The flesh is crisp, yet soft and juicy'. Now it is time for apple crisp, apple pancakes, apple kuchen, apple... fill in the blank!

A pair of twin fawns are getting big and will lose those spots soon as all of the deer are getting their darker thicker winter coats right now. They just finished some of the windfall apples in one tray and are having a good lick at the mineral/salt block afterward.

Jasper loves deer too!

Jasper loves the deer for another reason, look what he brought home from a walk in the woods recently. This is why I have a washable sofa!

Seville

And I am working as hard and fast as I can trying to complete the model of 'Seville' to get it to Just Cross Stitch magazine by the October 15th deadline. What do you think? It is going to be made into a pillow.

I've been notified that another magazine in the UK is going to feature Log Cabin~Winter in their next issue.

I hope everybody is enjoying whatever stitching project you are working on right now, it is that time of year when it becomes even more enjoyable to pick up a needle whenever time permits.

Contact Gracewood Stitches

I have always loved to cross stitch and in 2010 discovered the joy of designing my own patterns and invite you to share the process with me. If you have a desire to design I'm happy to share my experiences from first baby steps to publication.
I live on ten beautiful acres (Gracewood) in the northern Rocky Mountains with my husband, Terry. He is a very gifted artist working in many types of media.
